Seven teams in very few points which, however, can make all the difference in the world. In the last two days the A league it gave prestige to the revenge of the little ones who, with water at their throats, began to sign important results by mixing the cards, quite a bit. If the Cagliari first stopped Inter and then Juventus, theEmpoli beat Napoli doing even better than Frosinone who against the Italian champions achieved an away draw, partially frustrating the efforts of Verona and Sassuolo against Atalanta and Milan. THE yellow-blue by Baroni however, they won the direct clash against Udinese, causing trouble for the Friulians who were also called to confirm the positive result against Roma in the last 18 minutes to recover. In short, from Lecce at 32 to Sassuolo at 26, they can all aspire to salvation but at the same time they are at risk: the two are protagonists at 12.30 in the direct clash at the Mapei Stadium which could create an even clearer scenario for everyone.

Sassuolo with Ballardini he started to move the rankings, but he was unable to find the success that would completely change the deficient ranking. At home against Lecce it has the weight of the matches that count: winning would not only help the neroverdi to reach the safety zone, but would reduce the gap on the Salento players who on the contrary, in the event of an away success, could almost celebrate staying in Serie A early by breaking away from the group. On the path of the neroverdi there will then be another direct clash in the penultimate match at home against Cagliari.
Lecce who in the last few days will also have to deal with the Sardinians away and Udinese at home among the teams involved in the fight for survival, being able to play more wildcards than the others especially in the event of victory in Emilia.
By beating Napoli, the
Empoli he immediately put the pressure back on
Cagliari which after the draws with Inter and Juventus seemed to be able to enjoy more breathing space. However, the Tuscans do not have a simple calendar with away games against Atalanta, Lazio and Udinese clashing with the European ambitions of the first two and the salvation of the Bianconeri. At home, however, Nicola’s team will face Frosinone in a direct clash not to be missed and Roma on the last day, potentially still involved in the fight for the Champions League. Ranieri’s team, however, can play their cards in the direct clash with Lecce (at home) and Sassuolo (away).
Il
Frosinone Di Francesco will have to sweat every point between now and the end of the season, starting with the away match against Torino. The Gialloblù will have to take advantage of Salernitana’s doomed fate by hosting the Granata at Stirpe in the next round to return to home victory, but before the end of the championship they will also face Italian champions Inter and two direct clashes with Empoli (in away) and Udinese (at home on the last day).
Finally, the success at the end of Verona on the
Udinese got into trouble – and not a little – Cioffi’s Friulians who in the final of the championship, in addition to the 18 minutes to be played against Roma, will close the tournament with
three consecutive direct clashes against Lecce, Empoli and Frosinone, counting on their fans only against the Tuscans on the penultimate, very delicate day.
